My neighbor, who is my best friend at this time, happens to be black. He is highly educated and is a moderate democrat. He has told me that, at this time, that he does not plan to vote, although he voted for Obama last time. The gay marriage issue has him sick, and it makes him sicker when they liken it to the civil right struggle of the 60's.
Now, he might still vote come November, but I think this issue has a great chance of disheartening many black voters. The enthusiasm gap is going to be there, and that is important.
The only way out for Obama, as I can see, is for there to be some new Racial incident, watch it and see..
Ken Hamblin "the black Avenger" used to have a great radio show. He hated when the left would equate the homosexual agenda to the civil rights movement. He would say, when thing turn ugly, you can pretend to be straight, but you can't pretend not to be black.
